because of the fiscal cliff, huge amounts of oil money on the side lines right now. take a look at volumes. we ran these numbers and put this together, february of 2011 it was a good month for oil, trading the average day, 934,000 contracts traded. by last month, november of this year, that was almost cut in half to almost -- well, a little bit more than half a million a day. yesterday the volume? 175,000 contracts. and today our producer just gave me the numbers, just totalled up all. 261,000 contracts today. that's still half the typical volume for december. this money is on the side lines because even though you can make a lot of money in oil, nobody wants to be hanging out there right now with the danger of the fiscal cliff overhanging everything. it's -- it's not a good time if you have got money and you want to do something with it. ashley: that's right. >> it's on the side lines. ashley: you are right. jeff in the cold. thank you jeff. thank you very much. did you end up with coal in your stocking this year? we had to use that line. coal stocks have taaen a tu

the fiscal cliff. is it really the tea party congress members or not? >> i think it's hard to predict exactly who might get blamed if something doesn't happen. that seems too far in the future for me but if you look at all of the piece that is are in play, the one thing we haven't talked about is the debt limit. it is going to be hit soon. and then the treasury can use extraordinary measures to extend it but caused the fight that made us sit here today to talk about the quote/unquote fiscal cliff and the republican haves the boehner rule to ask for a dollar in cut for every dollar the limit is extended. the debt limit being money that we have paid and obligation to pay. and so, if democrats and republicans aren't come together now, and a month and a half from now republicans come back to the table and say we need more cuts, i don't know what the president is going to look to to cut. seems like a complicated mess that they have on their hands and the more clarity they get now, the easier it's going to b
